The artist known as William Patrick (Billy) Corgan has taken to Instagram to categorically deny that he fathered Taylor Swift. The Smashing Pumpkins frontman made the statement in a long multi-post on Instagram that is perfectly Billy Corgan. Or is it? He at one point he denies that as well, however his explanation does kind of makes sense,

“There is NO such person as ‘Billy Corgan’. He (BC) does not exist. Or, if he does exist (per these times), he is a creation from my mind to yours, and no different than a cartoon drawing of Batman or Sponge Bob. Trace the route: from 1967 to 1985 I was Bill Corgan, born WPC. My father was known to us as Billy, so he does exist, but the ‘Billy’ I speak of, the one who made records with SP and appeared on chat shows, was a creation.”
